Abstract: The present invention provides a thin film capacitor which comprises: a carrier substrate; a thin film element provided on the carrier substrate and having an insulating layer and a plurality of electrode layers, the thin film element including areas formed with no insulating layer; and a plurality of external terminals electrically connected to the corresponding electrode layers for receiving electrical signals of different potentials applied thereto, the plurality of external terminals being respectively provided in the areas formed with no insulating layer and bonded to the carrier substrate via the electrode layers connected thereto. The thin film capacitor according to the invention features a sufficient insulating property and a higher break down voltage.

Abstract: On the periphery of a polygonal main body formed by alternately placing electrode plates and dielectric layers, the electrode plates being alternately first and second electrode plates from the bottom, a plurality of first terminal electrodes connected with the first electrode plate and a plurality of second terminal electrodes connected with the second electrode plate are alternately formed. The first terminal electrodes or second terminal electrodes are provided at the corners of the main body. And the first terminal electrodes lies after the second terminal electrodes in a peripheral direction in a plan view of the capacitor. This capacitor can have a large capacitor and a low impedance in a wide frequency region.
